Nerva flooded valley
The passage of the storm has already caused more than 500 incidents, most of them in the province of Huelva, which is under an orange warning, as well as Cadiz and Seville. Heavy rains caused a valley to flood in the town of Nerva (Huelva) this Saturday. As reported by the Andalusia Emergency Service 112, notification of the incident occurred around 4:30 p.m.
Local police, private security forces and firefighters went to the scene after being notified by the control room, but there were no signs of anyone being injured or trapped.
Similarly, the City of Minas de Rio Tinto issued a request to all residents via social networks to exercise extreme caution and avoid unnecessary travel following the heavy rains that affected the town on Saturday afternoon.
The rainfall recorded in the municipality in the past few hours has caused flooding in various streets and low-lying areas, as well as water accumulation on public roads, making traffic difficult. Since early afternoon, emergency and civil protection personnel have been working to restore normalcy, deal with incidents and ensure the safety of residents.
Meanwhile, the City Council of San Bartolomé de la Torre also stated on social networks that parts of the Camino de las Bodegas were flooded due to record rainfall. In addition, the San Bartolomé-Castillejos highway has been blocked by private security forces, and there are several puddles on the road to Arosno. The City Council is therefore asking citizens to exercise extreme caution, avoid unnecessary travel and travel with extreme caution.
As for the city of Cartaya, Mayor Manuel Barroso urged residents to be careful and cautious, and reported that several roads were closed due to the passage of the weather event. In addition to the municipalities of Huelva, roads in the capital city of Huelva are also flooded due to the accumulation of large amounts of water after heavy rains.
